I support you and congratulate you on saying "no".

Hitler invites you to tea. Accept or decline?

I am so glad you are not a MSM whore, Charles.

May G-d Bless you and keep you.

Did they offer to pick you up and drive you to an undisclosed location where they have a studio?

Good for you Charles!

Tough call - But considering you wouldn't have any control over how you were presented I think you chose rcorrectly

good for you, Charles.

re: #4 Shay4l

"Blogger beheaded; film at 11"

I’ll post my answer in public.

No.

:raises glass: Cheers to you.

On another note: what a Saturday! I come back and there is so much here I don't know what to read first. It's like going to a buffet full of gold plated awesome, I just don't know where to start.

i'm sure pat buchanan will be glad to go in your place

Smack!

Like they would have had you on for straight news analysis anyway right? Probably the typical 'bait and switch' type booking.

Good on you Charles for resisting the studio lights.

Good answer, Charles.

F*k them and the horse they rode in on.

It's nice to see someone who values morality and common decency over a chance for media exposure.

Hmm, let me think about it. No. Just no. FOAD, A-J.

We Got Mail (From Al Jazeera)

Oh Goody ,, a Christmas Card, perhaps?

What would Reagan do? Maybe you could have turned it into a "tear down this wall" moment. Get inside the enemy's OODA loop.

I’ll post my answer in public.

No.

Good thinking.

/hold out for a guest appearance on Tomorrow's Pioneers

Good for you, Charles. The more people take a principled stand and refuse to appear on AJ, the more they might understand.

Are you reading this, Al Jazeera? Your company threw a birthday party for man who is only famous for crushing the skull of a 5 year old girl. Just after he killed her dad in front of her.

No political cause in the world justifies that kind of bestial behavior, just as no news agenda justifies celebrating it.

Hang your heads in collective shame.

"No" works for me!

Makes me proud to be a lizard, Charles.

16 Distant Thunder ...

If the segment was live, Charles could do that. But if the segments were taped (as the invitation suggests), there is no way for Charles to control the content.

Best respect to you, Charles. In Canada, our cursed public broadcaster CBC, has turned into a farm team for those pissants. Two prominent - in their terms - staffers have accepted positions there; nice to know my tax dollars helped groom those bastards for their new positions to spread anti-western propaganda. Of course, that's pretty much what they were doing at the CBC.

re: #16 DistantThunder

The Jihad TV would have spun our Lizard Leader into...who knows what?

So nice to see someone tell them to go screw......

Bravo Charles.

You make us all very proud, Charles!

No.

It’s sad and disturbing to see Americans shilling for these terrorist enablers.

There's a couple of former Canadian Broadcasting Corp. types over there as well.

Thats you, Charles.

@Charles:

You're more restrained than I would have been.

As I have said to young ladies on occasion. You may accept the compliment but that does not mean that you have to accept the offer.

re: #2 Killgore Trout

Hitler invites you to tea. Accept or decline?

Can I bring my ring with the hidden cyanide capsule?

Off Topic. Man I tell you, I go on vacation for less than a week without my cell phone, TV, and the Internet and there's War in Georgia, A Chinese national stabs two Americans killing one before leaping to his death, some wacko is caught plotting an attack on Sen. Obama, and Michael Moore opens his mouth not to insert another hot dog.

On Topic. Is there any chance Al Jazeera might simply dub Charles's comments had he decided to them up on the offer?

re: #2 Killgore Trout

Hitler invites you to tea. Accept or decline?

That all depends on if my name is pat buchanan or not.

re: #2 Killgore Trout

Hitler invites you to tea. Accept or decline?

Speaking of Hitler, if any of you have not seen the movie "Downfall", by all means rent it and watch it (It's in German with English subtitles). It's about the last 10 days of his life, and it shows how deluded he was when it was obvious the Nazis had lost.
The actor who played Hitler is outstanding, but the actor who played Goebbels is really creepy looking.

re: #22 Whiterasta

That's kinda' what I'm thinking. But, they'd edit him out.

I'd make sure no table leg was between him and my brief case.

Charles:

That would be sleazy, immoral, and underhanded.

Offer to debate Kuntar, then let the Mossad know the date, time and place.

Besides, since instead of a Herald they used a computer you gain nothing from kicking it into a bottomless well.

Oh, accept with my little vial of arsenic concealed in my lace hankie.

Or, with one of my long hat-pins dipped in rat poison.

re: #36 paradox42

Agreed

Even if you don't do the interviews, Charles, see if they will send you a copy of their "Code of Ethics (for parties and such)". I would be interested in knowing how it reads. LOL Give them time to make one up ....

Well said, Charles!

Charles, good decision!

tell them yes, then let me go instead of you since they don't know what you look like.

i'll raise hell with them until I get kicked off.

re: #48 bj

Like the unholy bastard child of mein kampf and the protocols, with a little bit of necronomicon stirred in for flavor.

Charles, I think it's in order to call on all the people affiliated with those 100 websites also to say "no" for the same reason.

"I’m a producer at Al Jazeera English Television and I’m looking for interesting political commentators to appear on our news programs."

John Edwards or Kwarme Kilpatrick are available.

Based on the referrer information, this JihadTV quisling is apparently going through the bloggers listed here: 100 Of The Most Popular Political Websites On The Net - Right Wing News.

49) Little Green Footballs: 31,529

70) Daily Kos: 77,766

re: #39 LEGION

Al Jazzera can go to Hell!

That is where they came from

Good decision, Charles. They probably would pull some sort of shenanigans on you, such as monkeying with the footage to make you say something you didn't really say.

On a different note... I had been gone for awhile from here... got sidetracked off onto other sunny rocks in cyberspace... and for some while before that, I couldn't get the - + thingies to come up on the main page, and so couldn't click on them. I could get them when I loaded an individual thread, though.

Now, they appear again on the main page, but every time I click one of them, the whole page loads again, as if I'd clicked on the LGF logo at the top, instead of upticking the number like I'd expected. After that, though, I can click on the + and - buttons of the various threads with impunity.

Closer scrutiny reveals that when I mouse over the + or - button, it appears to link to [Link: littlegreenfootballs.com...] (note the # at the end). I have LGF bookmarked without the # at the end, but after clicking on the + or - the first time (and the page loads anew), I now have # at the end of it. This is with FireFox 3, on Windoze XP Pro.

BTW, what became of the rotating title?

Wise decision not to allow your image and voice to be used as their editors see fit.
Meanwhile, cable consumers have been voting, and Al Jazeera English is still only seen in four cities in the U.S. (Toledo OH, Burlington VT, Houston TX, Washington DC).

re: #35 ted

Charles:
Did they approach Stinky ?

If all you had to bring was a mouthful of stupid, would you approach Stinky?

He might go all "dental" with that pipe wrench.

That's a great strategy for Al Jazeera, because they know they can make most bloggers look really stupid, since most bloggers are relatively unaware of how television works.

So, if Al Jazeera can recruit four or five of these Conservative American bloggers to appear on their network news, man are we going to look stupid.

Mouths hanging open, getting inapporpriately angry, bad lighting, getting cut off and flustered, etc.

re: #41 Charles

that list is totally sweet. makes me a little more confident.

I hope I’m not going to see any of these bloggers on Al Jazeera English, but if I do I’ll be sure to post about it.

I respect your decision, Charles, but I'm not so swift to denounce anyone who does appear. If no one with a correct opinion goes on, their viewers will hear nothing but incorrect opinions.

Maybe that's a bit hopeful, a bit evangelical, but it's just a thought.

I guess they don't read LGF enough to know that you are a man of principle, Charles.

Those guys from Amish Tech Support better not show up on Al Jizz.

While it would seem to be legitimizing the jihadi network, it would be cool to see Charles on there rebutting deftly all the claptrap they had to offer.

Color me cynical, but I smelled a trap here. They would have undoubtedly steered the conversation toward the sin of Islamophobia. Good call Charles, I'm sure it a nanosecond to reach it.

Many praises for Charles.

No doubt.

If they had not THROWN A PARTY FOR A CHILD KILLER, I could see that.

Just as well. They would have a doctored interview anyway. They would probably get you to answer a question so you would say "I like that idea very much". The would snip out their first question, a la Jay Leno, and ask "what do you think of bombing Detroit?
Al Jiz hates you, and would do anything to shut common sense down.

PIMF!

re: #67 Purple Prose

BTW, when was that top 100 list published? So many unfamiliar sites.

I hope you will explain to them in private why you would not support a network thet celebrates a killer that thought it was fun to execute the unarmed and beaten parent of a 4 year old then ridicule her response before beating her to death. Muslim Hero.

First let's let Al-Jazeera bring on the likes of Wafa Sultan, Nonie Darwish, Bat Ye'or, Irshad Manji, et aliae, as regulars, and then let's talk about Westerners.

When Bill O'Reilly interviewed Michael Moore in 04, one of the reasons Michael was against the war was because he thought our "kids" were being used in the war. He kept saying "We need our kids to come home, our kids, Bill, our kids" or something similar.

Most everyone reading this blog knows the hypocrisy of Mike, but if he appears on that network after that network celebrated a child killer, this could be some pretty good ammo against that chunk of poo.

Russia is apparently bombing Tbilisi airport

It's hard to imagine an up-side to appearing on al Jazeera. They lack the moral standing to solicit commentary from anyone associated with LGF
(excepting the odd troll).

re: #149 godfrey

Russia is apparently bombing Tbilisi airport

It's getting uglier by the hour.

re: #75 MandyManners

They could edit it so that it would come across that Charles is in agreement.

They could, although they have aired some Americans and Israelis unedited. Al Jazeera is a weird entity. It is at once pro-jihad yet sometimes airs anti-jihad stuff unedited and uncut. It wants to be "street-friendly" (i.e. pro-Palestinian and pro-jihad in a lot of respects), anti-establishment (the establishment in Al Jazeera's case being "secular" Arab leaders like Mubarek), yet a professional news organization in a Western sense to some degree with some pretense of objectivity, while being a business. It really is a very weird entity.

It would be hard to predict how they would present an American blogger critical of Islamism, but they have had a lot of Islamist-critical people on who they did not edit or censure. On general moral grounds, considering their history and influence, as well as the uncertainty of how they might manipulate or edit, it makes sense to ignore such an invitation. Still, it would be cool to see Charles giving them hell.

I just came from looking at some pics from Spiegel that are from the front. That's the new front in Georgia by the way.
UNLESS HE IS STOPPED BY US Putin will become the Stalin/Hitler of the new century. Russia's plan In my opinion of strategic planning is to damage the oil facilities in Georgia proper not South Ossetia, to ruin the economy of the country. Putin will pull back then accept a cease-fire and let the political fallout cause the Georgian government to fall. Then he can use his operatives to see that a puppet of his gets elected and Georgia will become a de-facto satellite of Russia once again. If we do nothing Russia is going to reclaim all of it's former states slowly but surely. Europe will sit by and do nothing, just like they did with Poland, Checkoslovokia, etc, etc, etc.

re: #164 pat

re: #162 Zimriel

Oh, and it's time for Dubya to fly back home. I have nothing against tall volleyball chicks, but there is a time for ogling them and a time to deal with emergencies.

I really doubt he is there to ogle the volley ball chicks, and he can certainly administer policy from China or wherever.

It is up to me and those like me to do the ogling. And so I will.

I'm assuming that "USS Clueless" is a cute, clever, put-down-name of a particular website whose name sounds similar to "USS Clueless." I.e. some people call LGF "Little Green F*ckt*rds" and the like. However, the notion of a website or blog with a name that starts with USS, like a ship's name, just doesn't ring any bells with me. Sorry.

One of the pics I referred to was particularly terrible. I won't post a link to it but it was an older lady, perhaps late 50's? who was burned and bleeding in a heap of twisted metal outside a burning building. It really almost looked like she was blown out of her apartment building. The Red Army was prepared for this attack before the so-called Ossetia militiamen began attacking Georgians outside of their "enclave" how else do you explain their ability to send a Brigade sized force into the region on such short notice? We are talking about probably 150+ armored vehicles. it ain't like you just walk out to the garage and turn the key on one of those things!

Modern War is about logisitics. The winning side has to have the right amount of force (read men and machines) in the right place at the right time. A little luck helps too. I was surprised that the Georgians didn't bomb/block the pass into the country. apparently the entire Russian offensive has to move through a single tunnel? Putin will have to raise hell in a hurry and count on the Georgians collapsing either militarily or their willpower. He can't sustain a large offensive like that.

Apparently much is made of the fact that the Chinese invented movable type prior to Gutenberg. There are 2 answers to this. one it is irrelevant, what did you do with it? Second, the stylus is in fact a form of substitutional type face. And that was 3,000 years prior. Welcome to competition.

Commies are, like terrorist Muslims, a rogue factor with a few allies of convenience among the nations but, apart from the odd bombing, not a threat anymore. I believe we now have to worry more about fascist, cult-of-the-Great-One nations like Russia and China. After all they still have the nukes and a lot more people under arms (not just rent-a-mob bearded morons in craphole slums)

re: #160 The Shadow Do

Charles or others with a moral spine, given air time, would serve only to lend them credibility and that is not a good thing.

I don't know from where they derive their credibility. Al Jazeera to me seems to me to a kind of pan-Muslim (with an Arab bias, not surprisingly) tabloid. It's not just about jihadi sympathies of the people who run the show; they also are knowingly giving the people what they want, which is even more disturbing. Yet they sometimes do show the other side unedited. Also, on the audience side, I am not sure the Muslim world is as monolithic as it is sometimes made out to be. While Islam has not had any reformation and it is a dead-end of violence and apocalyptic thinking as presently configured, there are many Muslims who realize the absurdity of Islam. They keep to it out of tradition, but perhaps they could be reached.

I have met some Arabs who understand that the Palestinian problem is largely an Arab creation used as a weapon against Israel. They may not be pro-Israeli, but they know that there is a lot rotten about the Arab world and that Israel is not the main problem with the Arab world.

There may not be any hope in changing the Islamic world, but there are individuals who can be reached. They are not all automotons. I doubt a show with a "right-wing" or whatever blogger would have much impact, and, yes, it could be manipulated, but I think we need to keep trying to reach at least the people who may have doubts, even if only a very tiny number might ever change their way of viewing things.

kansas, the emergency would be that the US's (currently) second most loyal ally after the UK, by the statistics, is getting conquered by the Czar's cossacks. I call that an emergency.

One reason I do not contribute to Chinese charities is because, regardless of the admirable traits of many Chinese, they do conduct charitable activities outside of China. Bigotry, ethnocentrism, racism, and casual cruelty still mark China. I must admit that the one child policy and Christianity have opened many Chinese eyes. And I am hopeful. But let the Chinese learn to help their fellow citizens, rather than to laugh at our belittled attempts to help Chinese in need, that could be readily assisted by their own.

re: #223 MandyManners

No question. Our attempts to fight wars with extreme measures to not harm civilians is an aberation (historically speaking) In the history of men there were no such things as civillians. there was simply us, and them. Whoever won did with the leftover "thems" as they pleased, usually put them to work as slaves of one sort or another. For most of time the common folk were a feature of the landscape. You know, a guy comes in to a new town, kills off the warriors, lets the rest live so they can make money for him as long as they behave. If they fought too hard he might be pissed and kill everyone, but that is inconvienent because then he has to import a new workforce to til the land and make the money for him. It's sort of like taking over the lease on a furnished apartment. You might want to change the sheets, or maybe not.

Sorry. I never went looking around for other political blogs particularly. I came here because Rush Limbaugh mentioned it positively a few times, and then I simply stuck with LGF. That was years after 9/11, and I had never paid any attention to political blogs before coming to LGF.

Ergo, I'd never heard of USS Clueless. I don't think I'd have expected someone to name his blog "USS Clueless," rather, I'd have expected a name like "USS Clued-In" or something. Calling something "USS Clueless" sounded to me in the same vein as someone calling the Jehovahs Witness the "Jehovah's Witless."

Since the guy actually did use that as the actual name of his site, though. I guess that means he was calling the whole country the USS Clueless, with himself as the one and only crewmember who HAS a clue...

This reminds me of when Zombie revealed to us that s/he didn't know what Walmart was... and then told us WHY s/he didn't know what Walmart was...

sojerofgod is about right. Civilians weren't the point of ancient warfare; they got in the way, most often. At the end of it, what happened to 'em depended on how the conqueror felt that day.

When cities were involved in an existential conflict like Carthage-Rome or, begging our Jewish readers' pardon, Babylon-Judea; that was a whole 'nother thing. The civilians of those nations actually cared who was going to be their lord-n-master next.

re: #215 jcm

The 3,000 years I referred to, was 3,000 prior to the Chinese 'invention ' of movable type. A far older date. Adopted writing appears to have been independently invented on 4, some say 5, occasions. These cultures had little or no contact with each other, But it was culturally adopted instantly by all cultures that were introduced, so it didn't need to be invented often. Sort of like speaking, pottery, metallurgy, fermentation, etc. Sometimes a good idea is just a good idea. Chinese also claim to have invented paper. This is sort of a 'so what?'. Paper is an inferior printing medium whose value is that it was cheap. Clay, metal, parchment were far better mediums, as was the Euro-Egyptian medium of papyrus.

The romans actually defeated Carthage twice before they wiped them out.
